Silvan Stâncel was born in Alba Iulia on July 2th, 1978, in a family with strong artistic tendencies, his father being a poet and his sister a painter. He fell in love with the guitar at the age of 17, in a camp where he learned the first chords and, once he got home, he found a guitar brought by chance by his sister who, although with some minor defects, captured all his attention. From that moment on, Silvan, a self-taught guitar player, practiced every day, up to twelve hours a day without stopping. After the first three months of study, he had already mastered the main chords and was able to play along any song. A bit later, he discovered classical guitar and irremediably fell in love with it. He learned classical guitar pieces "by the ear", but realized that, in order to perfect himself, he must begin studying musical theory. As a student in Cluj-Napoca, he got acquainted with various artists and guitar lovers. Among others, he met Andras Varga, from whom he "stole" the flamenco guitar techniques, a music style that would strongly influence Silvan. He started composing his first instrumental and voice-guitar songs. At the same time, he had the first public performances, singing and playing his own creations. After graduating from the university, Silvan returned to Alba Iulia, continuing to study classical guitar, flamenco, and jazz still as self-taught. The public performances were very rare until October 2006, when composer and singer Vali Serban suggested him to compete in the Ziua de Mâine ("Tomorrow") National Festival Competition of Folk Music in Alba Iulia, although his compositions surpass the borders of this musical genre. Then, little by little, he got invitations from the all over the country to other festivals of this kind and others, where his compositions brought him the most important prizes (see ACHIEVEMENTS). Thus, Silvan got to meet the most valued artists of the moment, befriending some of them. Besides, he befriends with some of the younger artists he met during these festivals. Presently, Silvan Stâncel is invited to perform to various festivals and artistic exhibitions from all over the country and abroad.
Normalitate
Ce este normalitatea in mintea unui bărbat care a comis o crimă?
sau cum se raportează normalitatea la fapta unei femei,
care şi-a ucis copilul înainte de naştere?
ce legatura e între normalitate şi ei?
Am întâlnit o staţie de autobuz în mijlocul pustiei
plină de copii părăsiţi care aşteptau în neştiinţă, ceva.
m-am apropiat şi am realizat că îi cunosc, desigur doar în aparenţă.
nu sunt ei din lumea mea .
Pe chipul lor se citea lipsa de înţelegere de care suferă
Doar nu mă apucam eu un nebun să le promit că va fi bine
Eu care cunosc lumea din jurul meu
Şi într-un mod special, mă ştiu pe mine.
Ciudat şi plin de nesimţire m-am decis să le ofer puţină speranţă.
Speranta nu era acolo intre prietenii ei,
Mai sunt oameni care au nevoie de ea
oameni care speră că o să câştige la loto toţi banii lumii.
Le-am lasat tot ce aveam la mine
bani de bilete, bani de dulciuri.
Şi am plecat înapoi în pustiul sufletului meu
Conştient că nu va trimite nimeni un autobuz
Care să îi aducă aproape de ignoranţa umană .

The same day, first bishop of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of Northern Europe, His Grace Macarios participated alongside father George Borca celebrating religious service occasioned by the celebration of St. Nicholas, a chance meeting with the Romans in Stockholm but also to send them a spiritual message around Yuletide.
Prin bunăvoinţa Asociaţiei Culturale Româno-suedeze FRĂŢIA , şi prin intermediul primului episcop al Episcopiei Ortodoxe Române a Europei de Nord, Preasfinţitul Macarie Drăgoi, Moşul Nicolae a oferit copiilor cuminţi câte un cadou cu dulciuri. Evenimentul a avut loc duminică seara, chiar după serviciul religios prilejuit de sărbătoarea Sfântului Nicolae, la biserica ortodoxă românească din Bredang (Stockholm). În aceeaşi zi, primul episcop al Episcopiei Ortodoxe Române a Europei de Nord, Preasfinţitul Macarie Drăgoi a participat alături de părintele Gheorghe Borca la serviciul religios prilejuit de sărbătorirea Sfântului Nicolae, prilej de întâlnire cu românii din Stockholm dar şi pentru a le transmite un mesaj spiritual în apropierea sărbătorilor Crăciunului.
Traditional Christmas songs will be heard this year, more beautiful than ever, for the Romanians who attend Orthodox church Bredang (Stockholm). Since the evening of St. Nicholas, carols were heard in the Romanian church here in rehearsals that started under the sign of blessing by the first bishop of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of Northern Europe, His Grace Macarie Drăgoi.
Romanian conductors of the choir will perform Christmas carols was the president of the Romanian-Swedish Cultural Association "FRĂŢIA", Ms Elena Borca, the mision of achieving chorus harmony beeng received with talent and enthusiasm by Daniel, the new church musician of Romanian Orthodox Church of Bredang.
Cântecele tradiţionale de Crăciun vor suna în acest an, mai frumos ca oricând, pentru românii care frecventează biserica ortodoxă din Bredang (Stockholm). Încă din seara de Sfântul Nicolae, colindele s-au auzit în biserica românească de aici, la repetiţiile care au început sub semnul binecuvântării primului episcop al Episcopiei Ortodoxe Române a Europei de Nord, Preasfinţitul Macarie Drăgoi. Bagheta dirijorala a corului românesc care va interpreta colindele de Crăciun s-a aflat la preşedinta Asociaţiei Culturale Româno-suedeze Frăţia, doamna Elena Borca, fiind preluată cu talent şi entuziasm de către Daniel, noul dascăl al bisericii româneşti din Bredang.
Primim din partea domnului Horia Stoicanu, din România, un mesaj care, constituindu-se într-un inspirat compliment adus sentimentului de prietenie, se încadrează, prin conţinut, la enunţul "NORMALITATE". Dincolo de interpretări subiective, textul:
Martor mi-e D-zeu, nu l-am simpatizat din prima clipa. Flautistul si arhitectul Sorin Minhgiat mi-a prezentat un material audio numit "Nebunul de alb", foarte greu digerabil, avand in vedere perspectiva mea asupra lircoismului păunescian, mai cu seamă asupra nefastelor lui consecinţe asupra fenomenului folk.
Dar, în vara lui 2008, l-am cunoscut la Calafat în persoană pe IMI şi l-am simpatizat imediat, chiar înainte să aflu că el compusese "Nebunul". Era acolo o atmosferă de desâvârşită camaraderie şi colegialitate, încât ne-am putut cunoaşte bine unii pe alţii, mai ales la cântarile de după spectacolele programate.
Şi asa l-am cunoscut. Smead, feminofag şi unoeri aricios, ca orice artist nominal, m-a impresionat în primul rând prin calitatea progresiilor armonice. Liniile melodice erau încă înfeudate versurilor cu metrică strict măsurată, limită depăşită astăzi prin curajul de a-şi scrie singur textele.
Seară de seară, succesele lui erau remarcabile, mereu pigmentate cu producţii noi. Între timp s-a remarcat nu doar ca un excelent compozitor şi armonist, ci şi ca un priceput organizator de spectacole. Practic, la caeastă oră, tot ce se întâmplă în Cluj ca viaţă artistică folk se datorează bunelor intenţii şi colegialităţii lui Emeric Imre, aflat nu o dată la concurenţă cu trustul informativ reprezentat de cunoscuta grupare clujeană Folkblog.
Fiind un moment aniversar, nu pot încheia decât doridu-i lui IMI noi succese pe drumul lui, deja bine cadastrat.

"My artistic approach can be defined as experimental and polymorphic. Arising from an intuitive-descriptive graphism, it flows through psychedelic colours and aims to achieve the metaphor-object. There are no material, technical or ideological constraints. Objects, colours, graphism, actions or performances are mixed into the continuous process of shaping up a personal mythology, into a quest for plastic solutions, the main iconographical object of which is the butterfly. The butterfly as transcendent evolution. The butterfly in all its symbolic and iconographical complexity.The transfer of the imaginary through different media occurs on a bidimensional to tridimensional trajectory in an attempt to sublime the individuality of the artistic fact, to essentialize and eventually transcend it into the collective consciousness."
